Prediction
Our expert pick:
In the first match Benfica proved their class and is rightfully the favorite today. Moreover, the class and experience of the performers are on the side of the Portuguese. In addition, do not forget about the serious support of the stands. The Kyivans passed the qualification stage only twice in the history after losing the first game and then there were defeats by one goal. Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Benfica and we bet on it through the 1xBet bookmaker line with a coefficient of 2.12. Mircea Lucescu played five times as a coach against Portuguese teams, while in the last three matches his charges failed to score. In addition, the Kiev side has a serious lack of playing practice, which may be reflected in a duel with such a serious opponent. The second bet is a two-goal win for Benfica at 4.10.
